A/F guage resetting

Hi guys,
I recently encountered intermittent problems of my A/F gauge restting itself when I turn on my headlights (turning on pole light does not have any problems)
These happened after I installed my HID headlights to replace my halogen (GE6).

The gauge I am using are"prosport" and it beeps whenever being resetted as it is supposed to be in silent mode.

Anyone with a clue why will this happen?

Bad ground? Voltage drop is too great.

Get some beefier ground straps, a seperate fusible-link charge cable from the alternator to the battery and a voltage gauge to monitor alternator output.

The initial draw from your retro-fit headlights is putting a large strain on the rest of the system.

Check your wiring, try some of the suggestions above and get back to us

Is it wrong that I am wondering why you have an A/F gauge?

I'm curious too.. but I figured that is one of the few mods that everyone needs first but no one actually gets.

Haha, you are quite right.
Initially, I wanted a guage with moving needs (for cosmetic purpose only) and thus got the A/F guage to monitor the air fuel ratio at the same time.

It is rather useless though. lol.

The volt readings seems constant from the batt. Tried re-joing a wire that seem loose but problem not solved.
